Linux: AM5728: A problem about fastboot

Hefa Zhuang

Tool/software: Linux

My board is AM572x Industrial EVM REV 1.3B

SDK Version:ti-processor-sdk-linux-am57xx-evm-05.00.00.15-Linux-x86-Install

I downloaded the adb and fastboot tools on the windows host, then run cmd to open the command line window. After my board enters uboot, I run fastboot 1, then I run fastboot devices on the windows:

This device has been detected from above.

But when I run fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin,it was failed:

What should I do if I want to transfer image files of uboot, kernel, etc?

Hello,

What I asked is about fastboot but not about dfu. I installed the fastboot tool under linux and I saw the help information for the fastboot command including the following:

usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition

The partition here seems to be wrong no matter what I fill. How can I view the information of the partition here?

Hello Hefa,

In u-boot, when you type the command: "part list mmc 1", are you able to see the two partition called "bootloader" and "rootfs"? If you do not see the two partition, type the following command: "gpt write mmc 1 $partitions". Then, type the command "saveenv" and "reset". At this point, you should see something like the following:

Based on my conversation with our developers, fastboot is a supported and tested feature in PSDK Android but is not supported with PSDK Linux.

Hi, Hefa,

I don't think ADB fastboot tool is ever tested on our platforms. Could you take a look at the U-boot User's Guide and use one of the supported boot method for AM572x IDK?

Thanks!

Ok. So if I want to upgrade the firmware from the host to the AM572x IDK via the usb cable, should I use DFU?

Yes. After I type this command "part list mmc 1", I could see the information as you did.

Hi, Hefa,

We support fastboot only for Android, and DFU for Linux which is similar to fastboot for Android.
If your issue is resolved, please click "Resolved". Thanks!
